You'd give them a buck every time a stripper came around in the 90's. I would figure they'd be up to $5 by now. Generally I'm not watching the rising costs of boob glitter... but... even stripper shoes have to be getting up there.

I like to keep $1 bills stuffed in my boxers so I can pull them out in line at grocery storecheckouts. If you switch to $1 coins then I'll have to switch from boxers to briefs but briefs hurt my erections so fark no to this idea!

This again? Seems like this story gets posted at least once a quarter..Ha Ha!

FTA: The Mint is preparing a report for Congress showing how changes in the metal content of coins could save money.

The last time the government made major metallurgical changes in U.S. coins was nearly 50 years ago when Congress directed the Mint to remove silver from dimes and quarters and to reduce its content in half dollar coins. Now, Congress is looking at new changes in response to rising prices for copper and nickel.

At a House subcommittee hearing Thursday, the focus was on two approaches:

-Moving to less expensive combinations of metals like steel, aluminum and zinc.
